"I like it and some famous musicians like it, how can you not like it?!?!?!?!?"

What i was trying to get across by mentioning them was that this album is the keystone to why they have become who they are today. As is any debut album, but I like this particular album and wanted to hear his input on it.. So mock me, but realiE this is a discussion board, and Im going to discuss.

this album is the keystone to why they have become who they are today.

Is it really though?

There's no need to go all defensive, you're free to discuss whatever you want and I don't think I stated otherwise. But I'm not sure using points like "how can you not like this", "it has good songs", "I really like it!" or "it's great!" offers a great basis for a discussion.

"How can you not like it"
"I don't like it because..."

Discussion moves forward

And I can't share my opinion? Damn...
But I wasn't trying to come off as defensive if it seemed that way. More just being sassy, sorry if it came off that way, and for liking Showbiz

I think it's a great album. I don't know why but recently it's the album I always chuck on when in doubt. There were some great ideas in this album but I think it wasn't quite adventurous enough overall and that's where some of the criticism comes from.

I really like MK Ultra. It's a gem of a track! 👍 I love Unnatural Selection but I feel it could have had way more oomph and a bigger final solo and breakdown.

Exogenisis is hauntingly beautiful. Not as great as Muse lead us to believe it would be...but I still love it.

The only song I skip is I Belong to You. It is completely out of place on that album.

Funny that this album was their biggest considering it was their most experimental at the time.

I like The Resistance. But US and MK Ultra really bore me. They sound like bog standard rock songs by numbers.
The part where US cools down in the middle particularly bores me. And the chorus sounds like something I've hear elsewhere.

Much agreement.

It might be Lay All Your Love On Me by ABBA, there's a vocal melody that's similar ("counterbalance this commotion..."). Actually, listening back, the verses from Who's Got a Match sound similar to the ABBA song as well

I don't hate it, nor do I love it. I think it's fine, and has some good songs, but just doesn't have enough of them. In fact, that whole album was kind of short. Take away Exogenesis and you're left with 8 songs.
